F East is east and west is west and the wrong one I have chose Bb F Let's go where I'll keep on wearin' Bb F Bb F Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows Bb F C F Rings and things and buttons and bows F Don't bury me in this prairie, take me where the cement grows Bb F Let's move down to some big town Bb F Bb F Where they love a gal by the cut of her clothes Bb F C F And I'll stand out in buttons and bows F C I'll love you in buckskin or skirts that I've homespun F C But I'll love you longer, stronger where G C Your friends don't tote a gun F My bones denounce the buckboard, bounce and the cactus hurts my toes Bb F Let's vamoose where gals keep usin' Bb F Bb F Those silks and satins and linen that shows Bb F C F And I'm all yours in buttons and bows F My bones denounce the buckboard bounce, and the cactus hurts my toes Bb F Let's vamoose where gals keep usin' Bb F Bb F Those silks and satins and linen that shows Bb F C F And I'm all yours in buttons and bows Bb F Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women Bb F In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes Bb F And French perfume that rocks the room Bb F Bb F And I'm all yours in buttons and bows Bb F C F Buttons and bows, buttons and bows C F C F Buttons and bows, buttons and bows
